So Pretty!

This hot glue painting has me smitten.

 I just came across this image from one of our Summer Pinspired Night projects. This project had such easily pleasing results so we’ll have to do it again sometime- how about this Friday night! We have canvases on our project line-up. Keep it pretty or make it spooky, the fun thing about our Pinspired Nights is our Pinterest project picks can go any way you choose!

Join us Friday night for Pinspired Fun and make something that is uniquely you. 7-10pm $25 per person createstudiofun.com/celebrate/pinspired/

Boo!

In the spirit of Halloween fun, come into the studio and make a Boo Bag!

Boo Bags are small bags with Halloween flair that you fill with candy and a paper ghost then leave oat a friend’s door without them knowing. 

It’s a fun activity to do in your neighborhood. Once a person has been booed they can post their paper ghost in a window so they don’t get booed again! 

Watch as paper ghosts go up in your neighborhood as you boo them.

Sewing!

Today marks the start of our October Sewing class series!
We’re excited to help beginning sewers get familiar with their machine sewing skills during our Intro To Machine Sewing class beginning today at 4pm.
This Thursday we’ll have our Machine Sewing TWO class for kids who want to explore Project Sewing. It also starts at 4pm. Both classes are great for building a love of machine sewing to last a lifetime.

For those interested in hand sewing,  we offer a one session Hand Sewing class next Wednesday. This is a great fit for all ages. Maybe hand sewing is on your bucket list!
Come sew with us this month!

Creating at home idea # 9

Chalkboard Tabletop.

This easy project requires a trip to the  craft or hardware store to begin, but it’s worth it.

Before you go, scout out a table small table at home, a paint brush and a piece of chalk.Perhaps a side table that needs a bit of jazzing up anyway.

Once you have a table decided your going to go out and get a small container of chalkboard paint (no need for more than a quart). There are a number of brand choices these days depending on whether your in a craft store of a hardware store.

With your table clean and paint in hand your ready to paint. Cover just the table top with the chalk paint. Do two coats, allowing dry time between coats. Once the table is painted the lasting fun begins. Now, the whole family  can use the chalk you found to draw seasonal pictures and messages throughout the year. It’s even fun when displaying hors d’oeuvres for company, just write out your cheese and cracker display on the table.

Enjoy!

Weekly WOW!

Gavin knew he wanted to make something with wheels. 

He and his mom spent their time together designing, planning then making this transporter that could roll over long distances and carry many imaginary men. 

Turns out he was inspired the latest Star Wars movie and some of its roving machines. How great it is to get inspired as a kid and make something from it. Thatvwas always my dream . Kids are imaginers. They have ideas all day long.

 This rolling transporter came to life field by Gavin’s inspiration. It impressed other studio creators as it rolled across the floor on it’s CD wheels. It even impressed his big sister and you that’s not easy to do.

Something to think about.

“Create fun things, your life depens on it.” Unknown

There’s a certain amount of truth to this statement. Books like The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron and Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert would attest to the notion that we must create. Our souls vitality needs this self expression . Our contribution to the world asks for us to be creative in solving problems and helping others.Yes, our loves depend on it.

Creativity is our cup of tea at CReATE, it’s why we open our doors every day. We believe creativity is for all to express and share. It’s art fun and more for everyone!
